we can't ignore that. >> you can disagree with what he's doing on these things whether foreign policy or domestic but he's not lazy or disengaged. we're overlooking the simple fact obama is not that good a debater. he wasn't that great a debater in the democratic primary. he did fine against john mccain but it wasn't acceptable. last night he clearly lost. one thing i'm hearing from democratic sources is he didn't end up with one of those moments that's going to haunt him. >> no, i don't think so. he doesn't lose any supporters and he certainly recovers from this, but we can't have any more like that. i say that. sam stein, e.j. dionne, great to have you with us tonight. >>> next, we debunk romney's $5 trillion tax lie with david k. johnston. stay with us. >>> mitt romney tried hard last night to make up ground with middle class voters. he put on quite a dog and pony show. tonight we'll remind you who the real mitt romney is with teamster's president james hoffa. stay with us. wow! it's even bigger than i thought. welcome to progressive. do you guys insure airstreams? yep. everything

i think obama has done pretty well on foreign policy pip don't think he's made bad calls. you can argue about it, but he's made tough calls on using these drones. he's had to kill a lot of people. he's been tough-minded about it. my guess is that eisenhower would have approved of the job that obama's done so far. i think romney, you know, he's never been president. how do you know? being governor of massachusetts doesn't really prepare few your that. romney seems to be a pretty sober-minded guy. he has reasonably good judgment as far as we can tell as a businessman. it's hard to know. the thing about the presidency is until you are president, you don't know. nothing really prepares you for it. >> thank you so much. appreciate your time this sunday afternoon. >> thank you, craig. >>> and part of a bridge collapse during 405 construction. is carmageddon a sequel for california drivers? is. >>> plus a lot of new polls are out. we're checking who's in the lead in ohio and iowa. we'll bring it to you on the other side of this break. you're watching msnbc, in case you hadn't hea

peter, real quickly though, governor romney is going to be giving a big foreign policy speech coming up after the weekend? >> reporter: that's scheduled to take place on monday back here fittingly in virginia. it will be at vmi on monday. it's an opportunity to attack the president again and dominate romney's readiness to lead. this is something they were prepared to talk about at the debate, supposed to be a debate about domestic issues. they thought there was a potential during the final 15 to 20 minutes when the conversation turned to the role of governing for mitt romney to perhaps be able to attack the president's mishandling in their view of foreign policy issues. since that didn't take place they hope to make that point this coming monday. >> peter alexander traveling with the romney camp in virginia. peter, thank you. >>> two days after the first presidential debates and democrats are still having this bit of a hangover as republicans try to continue seizing on wednesday night's momentum. it was a big night for mitt romney, but will that first face-off really affect how undec

there are foreign policy challenges. i think the next president will have a moment between november 7. i agree, he has to begin in the summer fall of 2013 to do a lot. i would bet contrary to conventional wisdom that would be huge legislative agenda. i think whatever one wins. i don't buy the gridlock argument. if obama gets reelected, he will have kind of a man they basically have to go with his version of a big deal, which will be bowles/simpson, though left version of bowles/simpson and a little aggressive entitlement reform than people would like. and if romney wins, he'll have a mandate for some version of the wine budget, probably time for a little to get democratic votes. to become president he will have a mandate or something close to that. either way would get a pretty big deal plus the pressure of the debt limit in the other things in markets that they are. i think 2013 becomes a big entitlement reform, tax reform, budget reform moment. it doesn't mean, the sort of gets to john's point, and amazing tidbit and s
